The purpose of this study is to determine whether HIV-1—infected patients, who are virologically suppressed on a regimen of 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors plus any third agent but are experiencing safety and/or tolerability issues, will maintain virologic suppression after switching to a regimen of heat-stable ritonavir boosted atazanavir, 300/100 mg, once daily plus raltegravir, 400 mg, twice daily.

An Open-Label, Randomized Study Evaluating a Switch From a Regimen of Two Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors Regimen Plus Any Third Agent to Either a Regimen of Atazanavir/Ritonavir Once Daily and Raltegravir Twice Daily or to a Regimen of Atazanavir/Ritonavir Once Daily and Tenofovir/Emtricitabine Once Daily in Virologically Suppressed HIV-1 Infected Subjects With Safety and/or Tolerability Issues on Their Present Treatment Regimen.

Number of Participants With Virologic Rebound at Weeks 24 and 48 [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Weeks 28 and 48 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Viral genotypic and phenotypic resistance profiles were assessed for virologic rebound (HIV-1 RNA level ≥40 c/mL). Only patients with HIV-1 RNA levels ≥500 c/mL met the criteria for resistance testing. Genotypic substitutions at baseline were summarized for virologic rebound. The genotypic resistance profile presented patients with genotypable isolates, those with protease inhibitor substitutions from genotypable isolates, those with integrase substitutions from genotypable isolates, and those with selected reverse transcriptase substitutions from genotypable isolates using the most current version of the International AIDS Society-USA list and Stanford HIV Drug Resistance Database. Newly emergent genotypic substitutions were summarized analogously for virologic rebound without baseline phenotypic resistance to atazanavir, ritonavir, or raltegravir, using all on-treatment isolates.

Number of Participants With Genotypable/Phenotypable Isolates, Emergent Genotypic Substitutions in Patients With Genotypable Isolates, and Phenotypic Resistance in Patients With Phenotypable Isolates at Week 24 [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Week 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Number of Participants With Genotypable/Phenotypable Isolates, Emergent Genotypic Substitutions in Patients With Genotypable Isolates, and Phenotypic Resistance in Patients With Phenotypable Isolates at Week 48 [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Week 48 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Number of Patients With Death as Outcome, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Treatment-related SAEs, Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Discontinuation, and Treatment-emergent AEs [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Week 48 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

AE=any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that may not have a causal relationship with treatment. SAE=a medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency/abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization. Related=having certain, probable, possible, or unknown relationship to study drug.

Switch of any component of HIV antiretroviral medication regimen in the last 3 months immediately prior to or during the screening period
